Everyone will be exposed Posted by Chandra on January 16, 2022, 9:37 am In the opinion of John Campbell: exposure to Omicron is a guarantee. It is inevitable. Wherever you are... I’d like to add that it’s a virus and has no nationality. Anyway, here is John Campbell’s advice on how best to handle the infection if you get sick with the Omicron variant. ~16 minutes.

Re: Everyone will be exposed Posted by Kushad on January 16, 2022, 2:36 pm, in reply to "Re: Everyone will be exposed" Thanks, Chandra. I appreciate Dr John’s way of presenting lots of government and research data in a neutral way, leaving it up to each of us to come to his/her/their own assessment of how it is all evolving. His daily post is one of my main sources for keeping me up to date.

Re: Everyone will be exposed Posted by Bernard Zalon on January 17, 2022, 9:22 am, in reply to "Everyone will be exposed" I don't know, I live in Manhattan, NYC. According to him I should already have it, and it seems to have plateaued here already.

Re: Everyone will be exposed Posted by Neal on January 17, 2022, 9:36 am, in reply to "Re: Everyone will be exposed" How do know you haven’t had it. Something like 50% of the “cases” are asymptomatic. Which is what makes this such a cluster f. You can have it spread it and not know.

Re: Everyone will be exposed Posted by Bernard Zalon on January 17, 2022, 10:03 am, in reply to "Re: Everyone will be exposed" Well, I wasn't feeling so great a couple months ago, got tested, negative. I doubt if I've ever had it, none of the people I regularly come into contact with ever had it, but you could be right. I'll get another test.

Re: Everyone will be exposed Posted by Bernard Zalon on January 17, 2022, 11:09 am, in reply to "Re: Everyone will be exposed" Yup, 30min after the rapid antigen I'm still negativo. I also got a PCR the results of which take 2-3 days. Of course you can be exposed anytime after taking the test, which is why I think that getting tested is silly unless you're feeling ill. Or getting on a plane.

Re: Everyone will be exposed Posted by Bernard Zalon on January 17, 2022, 12:57 pm, in reply to "Re: Everyone will be exposed" That's right! But that British gentleman didn't really make that clear.

Re: Everyone will be exposed Posted by Daniel H on January 17, 2022, 8:15 pm, in reply to "Re: Everyone will be exposed" Omicron wave prompts media to rethink which data to report "Hospitalization and death rates are considered by some to be a more reliable picture of COVID-19′s current impact on society. Yet even the usefulness of those numbers has been called into question in recent days. In many cases, hospitalizations are incidental: there are people being admitted for other reasons and are surprised to find they test positive for COVID, said Tanya Lewis, senior editor for health and medicine at Scientific American." https://apnews.com/article/omicron-changing-news-outlets-covid-data-da9272f7c4c8a109c3bfb56bed9e9c76

Re: Everyone will be exposed Posted by Bernard Zalon on January 17, 2022, 7:45 pm, in reply to "Re: Everyone will be exposed" But what does "exposed" mean? Does it mean that you passes someone by on the street who had it? That you spoke to someone who had it? That you were sneezed on? In each case, however, you didn't test positive or otherwise become ill? Because if you did test positive that would be "infected" as opposed to "exposed."
